Here are a few pictures that were taken while on one of our visits to Normandy. This display of Jeeps was in a farmers field at Colville sur Mer 2004. :silly: In the same field.. A nice collection of M1 Carbines on display. A German BMW Motorbike with Sidecar. Half-track Personnel Carrier in very good condition, the noise that this truck made was unbelievable..
A different view of the Norwegian re-enactors who had a great display of equipment. An American staff car, not sure if this was a Packard?? A supply truck carrying its MG just above the drivers cabin, a big impressive motor.
Nice shots and some quality exhibits. My dad and I got lost in Coleville trying to find Pegasus Bridge. There were no exhibits that day, but the weather was doing a good impression of 6.6.44 !
Nice pictures Jim, just looking at these few pictures of a few Jeeps, weapons etc, can make the imagination run a little wild, such an array of equipment in one farmers field makes you realise the kind of armoury that was around in 1944. :thumb: Can you imagine this x many farmers field. :wtf:
you sacrificed yourself to do these pictures but you should have put someone to do you a picture ass well because these things are incredible and really worth being next to them.Great pictures though thanks for sharing.
These are some really great pictures Jim! I love the one of the motorcycle and side car. Those have always intrested me. Who is the young lady in the pictures? (gosh I'm so nosey )
Really excellent pictures here Jim. Thanks so much for sharing them with all of us. I like the American car too!
Incredible pictures, you could almost feel the spirits of former soldiers talking through them . I wonder what my uncle would say about the pics if he were alive today .
The photos are really nice, and the vehicles and other stuff - on the one hand - are kind of moving in their own way. On the other hand (and this is, by no means criticism - just comment), there's something odd about how peaceful a setting surrounds the trucks, tents, and other things. Somehow, the photos give one the feeling that these items "can rest now".
